There were only three races run at Ballarat on Sunday before the meeting was abandoned, but Peter Moody still managed to produce a runaway juvenile winner that caught the eye.
A $190,000 purchase from the Widden Stud draft at Magic Millions, Planet Voyage returned from a break an improved competitor, jumping smartly from an outside draw and cruising across to take the lead.
The son of Exceed and Excel travelled strongly for James Winks and surged away from his rivals in the straight to win the 1000 metre maiden by four lengths as a well backed favourite at his fourth start.
Stakes-placed on debut back in the spring behind Jimando, Planet Voyage has always shown above average ability and looks ready to go right on with it now.
Bred by Gooree Stud and consigned for sale by Widden, Planet Voyage (pictured as a yearling) is the first foal for Group III winning Thunder Gulch (USA) mare Pasikatera, who comes from the family of dual Group I winner Tempest Morn.
Planet Voyage is the 16th individual Australian two year-old winner this season for Darley based Exceed and Excel, who stands at a fee of $66,000.
Class: Maiden. Track: Heavy. Time: 1:03.13. Prizemoney: $15,000 - 1st: $8,775 2nd: $2,700 3rd: $1,350. |
